The Hungarian National Gallery’s exhibition titled Magritte, Duchamp, Man Ray, Miró, Dalí introduces these two avant-garde trends of decisive importance like no exhibition in Hungary before.
The exhibition, selected from the material of the Israel Museum of Jerusalem, shows a comprehensive picture of the influential figures, events, documents and impacts of Dadaism and surrealism from the 1910s to the mid-1970s through the works of
Marcel Duchamp, Max Ernst, Man Ray, Joan Miró, Kurt Schwitters, René Magritte and Salvador Dalí
.
The selection places great emphasis on the diversity and technical experiments of Dadaism and Surrealism that created multiple genres, techniques and mediums. The more than a hundred
paintings, objects, photo montages, collages, assemblages
and
ready-mades
offer insight to the trends’ history through defining concepts and topics about Dada and Surrealism.
